[Metal] Accept - 14 Albums |
 With their brutal, simple riffs and aggressive, fast tempos, Accept were one of the top metal bands of the early '80s, and a major influence on the development of thrash. Led by the unique vocal stylings of screeching banshee Udo Dirkschneider, the band forged an instantly recognizable sound and was notorious as one of the decade's fiercest live acts. Despite recording two of the best heavy metal albums of the decade in Restless & Wild and Balls to the Wall, Accept remained too heavy and extreme for American audiences to embrace — even when they tried to tone down their act with more melodic songs. Ultimately having conquered the rest of the world, but with their career stalled in the U.S., Accept fell apart, but reunited years later to confront a radically changed music marketplace. Vocalist Udo Dirkschneider formed Accept in his hometown of Solingen, Germany, in the early '70s, but it wasn't until quite a few years later that the band settled on a somewhat stable lineup, including guitarists Wolf Hoffman and Gerhard Wahl, bassist Peter Baltes, and drummer Frank Friedrich. A well-received performance at the Rock Am Rhein Festival in 1976 brought them national attention, and they finally obtained a recording contract after replacing Wahl with guitarist Jörg Fischer two years later. Issued in 1979, their eponymous debut was badly produced, featured mostly subpar songwriting, and did absolutely nothing for the group. But with the arrival of new drummer Stefan Kaufmann prior to 1980's much-improved I'm a Rebel, Accept had the final ingredient they were looking for, and their popularity began growing by leaps and bounds. Released in 1981, the even more accomplished Breaker was engineered by Michael Wagener (who would go on to produce such major hard rock acts as Mötley Crüe, Alice Cooper, and Ozzy Osbourne, among others) and continued to develop Accept's trademark sound, featuring the massive crunch and tight precision of Hoffman and Fischer's guitars laying the foundation for Dirkschneider's inimitable shriek — akin to Bon Scott on helium. They also signed a worldwide deal with CBS Records subsidiary Portrait, and secured professional management from Gaby Hauke, who, under the Deaffy pseudonym, would help the bandmembers write most of their English lyrics from that point forward. Despite Fischer's sudden departure after a successful European tour supporting Judas Priest, the band was poised to conquer Europe with its powerful Teutonic heavy metal. 游客，如果您要查看本帖隐藏内容请回复 Balls to the Wall Best of Accept Blood of the Nations (Bonus Version) Breaker Eat the Heat Hungry Years Metal Heart MOBIUS Restless - The Best Restless and Wild Russian Roulette Silver Moon Staying a Life (pol) The Final Chapter https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/accept/id545085
